Bright Day Pediatric Therapies was built to offer a better way to deliver ABA — for children, for families, and for clinicians. We are a new clinic in NW Washington, DC, currently providing ABA Therapy and expanding to include Speech and Occupational Therapy.

Sessions at Bright Day are active, play-based, and built around connection. Therapy here doesn't look like drills at a table. It looks like building a tower, raising a hand to share at circle time, or helping a child find a new way to ask for what they need — with clinical intention behind each interaction.

As an RBT at Bright Day, you'll work with a small group of children each day, providing 1:1 ABA therapy. ABA works by breaking apart behavior and communication into small, teachable steps, and then practicing and reinforcing these steps with the child such that new skills and behaviors take hold. You'll work in individual and small group settings with children at our freshly renovated clinic.

Throughout the day, you will move between treatment rooms that are purpose-built for active, play-based work. Our BCBAs develop an individualized treatment plan for each child that shapes every session you lead with that child. The BCBAs also move between rooms throughout the day — observing, adjusting programs, and providing you and your teammates with real-time guidance and support.

The workday is structured, active, and varied. You'll use evidence-based ABA strategies, such as prompting, reinforcement, shaping, and structured skill acquisition programs to support each child's development in five primary areas: communication, emotional regulation, attention & participation, peer & social engagement, and independence. You'll build genuine therapeutic relationships, so children feel safe, engaged, and ready to learn. This work requires consistency and genuine warmth;

the right person for this job finds that combination energizing.

• Center-Based, No Travel:
  Your sessions are at our clinic. No driving to client homes, no school-based sessions.
• Onsite BCBA Support:
  Our BCBAs work alongside RBTs each day, providing real-time guidance.
• Shared Client Coverage:
  Each day, you rotate across a small group of children in ~2-4 hour blocks, rather than being assigned to a single client. Your day stays varied, children generalize skills faster by working with multiple therapists, and a client cancellation doesn't derail your schedule or your entire paycheck.
• Peer-Based Learning, Built-In:
  Children spend time in structured small groups alongside peers. We believe supported social interaction is essential for children with autism.
• Paid Training Built Into Your
  
  Schedule:
  
  Up to 40 hours of paid training annually, in addition to paid onboarding. If a client cancels, you can use that block for training or take voluntary time off — your choice.
• Clinic Support When You're Not in Session:
  When schedule gaps arise, the BCBA or Executive Director may assign support tasks such as preparing therapy materials, organizing treatment spaces, restocking supplies, or completing intake calls. These tasks keep the clinic running smoothly and…
